�.. This morning (Tuesday) : as I
'write the snow is coming` down: in
soft, beautiful flakes; .the ground is
covered several inches dee''p with lov.

a with a'whiteness that
no fuller on earthcan produce; the
air is quiet sol far and every fence
post every .Y loyv, growing tree is cov-
ered as with a fleecy cushion, The
evergreens, with their spreading
branches, :look like. ;old-fashioned
ladies in hooped party dresses, It is
0 genuine' wintery scene everywhere
you look, areally' lovs1,r scene, and
onewhichI, for one, would` not like
to miss.
'.Prue, 1 broke trail through' six or
seven inches of snow Coming up town
this morning, with. only one,lone foot-
print ahead of me, none part of the
way. But I didn't Mind it in the
lea.5t, with high goloshes and short
skirts it was no hardship at all. My
poor •old 'grandmother, had she had
to make the journey, would have been
done out, what with long skirts, bil-
lowing around her, she would ;have
had several pounds of wet snow cling-
ing to them and a pair of wet limbs
when she reached the, end of the
trail. • But,I simply took off my;gol-
oshes and other wraps, and was ready
-for work, dry and comfortable. Wo-
men would be very silly to return to
long skirts and if they ever do here's
one sensible one who won't.
But as I ploughed up through the
snow this morning I was thinking
how times hayschanged within th
last twenty years," even. It used t<
be' that when a storm same, blowing
the roads full of snow, as a wind

again. Each family then was a unit
and had to depend pretty much, upon
itself for entertainment and amuse-
ment, The older children might be
able to -go to school, walking over the
drifts, and they might bring home
some news, but outside news, was
scarce until somebody got out to the
postoffiee for the weekly newspaper;

us as it used to do. But nobody is
shut in any more. . The majority of
people in the country ndw have.tele-
phones and can go . to this handy in-
strument and call a neighbor for a
friendly chat; call a neighbor to•ask
for help in time of need, or to en-

The- Bell Telephone Company
and its financial policy
II' given authority by pai"liaipent, the -Ben Tele -
phone Company will issue new shares of stock
over a period of years, at intervals and in
amounts depending on the expansion required to
serve public demand. 3
The new shares will be offered for purchaseby
shareholders and the price willdepend on the man-
agement's judgment of conditions.
This method is the exact procedure by which tlio
company has built the present telephone system in
Ontario and Quebec.
In forty-eight years the telephone company' has nei-
ther suggested nor received a government subsidy.
In forty-eight years it has never selit its stock, nor
issued shares that were not fully paid for at par
or more. '
In forty-eight years it has never been exploited 'for
the benefit of either individuals or groups, although
it is now one of the largest institutions in the
country'.
hasmet double obligation
And this service has been given at low cost. The
rates paid by telephone subscribers in Ontario and
Quebec are the lowest in the world for comparable
service, The Board of Railway Commissioners has
officially aeknowlgdged that they are more reason
able than other rates in Canada.
The 15,300 owners of the system receive a fair re-
turn, but not more than a fair return. The cons-,
pany's policy has handed out no °melons" nor extra
dividends.
A test of title is the actual experience of a share-
holder -who bought Bell Telephone stock on the mar- '
ket fifteen years ago at $145 and has since taken
advantage of every opportunity to buy new shares
as th4y have been offered.
His annual returntoday, on the money he has paid
for his shares, is leas than seven per cent. Tobe
exact it is 6.9 per cent,
in the national interest
THE management does not favor any change in its
policy, because:
1. the record of the company's' poli• cy in efficiently
fulfilling the obligations to both users and own-
ers justifies its continuance.
2. if, however, the financial policy of public utility
companies is to be fixed by parliament it should
bemade applicable to all such calumnies rather
than to single out one company which does not
deserve special restrictions. •
3. a ch:esge in policy is hot in the national interest;
it means that Canadian investors will beattracted
to put their money into numerous American utility -
conpanies with which the telephone company is
now competing for new capital and where it is.
the recognizedractice to offer new ew shares to
stockholder's.
The present policy of the company safeguards fu-
ture expansion of the 'telepliolie •
,
system by retaining support of regi-
able investors, artd promotes the
national intere.'t of Canadians in,
Canadian eawsioriuen}..
..
' IN choosing and following this financial poliey
1 the management of the company has had, con-
stantly in mind the double obligation of those who
operate d public utility.
There is, first, the obligation to the users of the
telephone system to give them proper service at low-
est possible Cost. And, secondly, there is the obliga-
tion to the owners to protect their property and pay
them a 'fair return on the money they advance to
build the system. -
These two obligations have been scrupulously ful-
filled. ,
Service has been given by steadily extending the
system from a few hundred telephones in 1880 to
over 700,000 now in use. The companyis spending
over $27,000,000 this year to extend and improve
the system further and has shade plans to spend
over $120,000,000 in the next five years:
